Hartford, March 9, 2007: The Hartford Wolf Pack hit the ice and the books for the third consecutive year, inviting area school children to take part in Sonar's "Edu-Skate" III game. This educational school day game will be played on Wednesday, March 28 at 11:00 a.m. as the Wolf Pack take on the Bridgeport Sound Tigers at the Hartford Civic Center. The game is a regularly scheduled AHL contest, developed in cooperation with educational partners, which allows students to take an exciting and unique field trip to a Wolf Pack hockey game. The goal is to use hockey as a teaching tool for kids to learn about math, geography, science, fitness and more.
"Over the past two years, the 'Edu-Skate' game has grown and received an increasingly tremendous response and we anticipate another successful game and educational experience this year," said Wolf Pack general manager/head coach Jim Schoenfeld. "We are excited to again partner with area schools and PTA's to provide a fun learning experience for local children who may otherwise not have the opportunity to attend a professional hockey game."
All students and teachers will receive a Wolf Pack pencil and "Edu-Skate" workbook, containing questions and activities that will be carried out during the game. The game presentation will be geared to the educational aspect of the day, and during stoppages in play, players will answer questions, pose problems and provide information to the students on the JumboTron. Sonar and his sidekick, WTIC-FM's Damon Scott, will also help students work through their exercises.
Student group tickets for Sonar's "Edu-Skate" game are available at a special price of $9.00 per ticket. Concessions will be open with lunch specials for fans as well. For more details, call the Wolf Pack ticket office at (860) 548-2000. Season ticket holders who cannot attend can either redeem their unused tickets for another game or donate them to a needy school.
